class 37 D6700 arrives at Carnforth

popped over to Carnforth today, just in time to see a BR green class 37 arrive from the Barrow branch, anyone know from whence it came?, it was towed by 47580.

I'm not sure where it originated from but I saw the same passing through Skipton earlier this afternoon - around 15:00.

Re: class 37 D7600 arrives at Carnforth

thanks Anthony, love the sound 37's make, might just make it, bit skint at the moment but if there's a bus and I can pitch a tent somewhere, its possible, the saturday morning start up sounds great.
